... which was our first treat of the day, another chance to play spot the cloud while we drove all along the coast stopping at secluded beaches to play on the rocks, look in the rock pools and watch surfers taking tumbles in the big waves. Our picnic/beer stop for the day was at Nugget Point where we walked along the cliff to a lighthouse out on the rocks and could watch seals playing in the water below amongst the fantastic rock formations and crashing waves. It’s ...

... etc. The course was beyond my level; I would like to go mountain biking again but somewhere that required less technical skill. The only other bikers we saw were a team with matching jerseys of about 15, who we watched bike up the hill which we just walked down...maybe an indicator that we were out of our league.

... Penguin Reserve which was brilliant. We had a really nice guide and we got to see loads of the reserve (started by a sheep farmer who noticed the penguins breeding on his land). The reserve keep out predators basically and plant the types of trees and shrubs that the penguins like to nest in. First of all we visited the Penguin Hospital (mainly for penguins who are looking a bit thin - due to global warming heating the waters ...

... ninsule d'Ottago qui est un des endroits a visiter en NZ, ce que tout les guides de voyage disent... Je visite d'abord le Royal Albatros Center a la toute fin de la péninsule. Et quel spectacle. La guide nous dit qu'en deux ans, c'est la journée la plus active quèelle a vu. Ces oiseaux mesure 3,20 mètres d'envergure. Il sont tellement gros et même temps tellement élégant a regarder voler. Ils passent a quelques mètres des fenêtres ...

... are all sizes, some are huge and they are dotted along the beach, so best go at low tide. Dunedin is the only place on the planet that has an accessable land based colony of Royal Albatross and we were very lucky to be there when they decided to have a fly about whooppeeeeee we saw others sat on eggs watching their mates doing this aerobatic display while they were baking in the sun. The town is small enough to get ...

... if only to make Lorna wee when I took a picture of the signs) but it is not outdoor weather. So I had a spot of lunch and people watched for a bit, then came home. I need to get my stuff together, I am off to Queenstown tomorrow and want to leave reasonably early. I've not really been getting enough sleep, so I think I will have an early night tonight - fortunately anything that won't go into my backpack can fit into the bags under my eyes instead. So that's nice.

... wurde, mit Regen, Sonnenschein, Hagel, Regenbogen, alles wurde geboten. Es gibt mehrere Anbieter und jeder hat so seinen Privatstrand (zu einer Farm gehoerig), an dem man dann Pinguine und Seeloewen sehen kann. Neben den ueblichen NZ Pelzrobben gibt es hier auch Hooker Seeloewen, doppelt so gross wie die Pelzrobben und ziemlich rar (die Pelzrobben haben sich gut erholt, vor 100 Jahren fast ausgestorben). Wir sind ziemlich nah an sie herangegangen, sie haben keine Angst vor ...

Hej! Min lærer i faget "Markting & Consumption" er meget glad for at vise film i undervisningen. Følgende er to små film om New Zealand. Den første er lavet for at markedsføre New Zealand. Den anden er lavet i Australien med det ene formål at tage pis på New Zealand. http://www.youtube ...

... the little Blue Penguins, they only grow to 30cm tall and come out at night so we got there at the perfect time. The next morning I got up early to walk around the park that joins on to the place we were staying. When we were both up we had breakfast and set off for our next destination, Lake Tekapo. ON the way we came across Lake Punakaki where we had a break before heading off again to Tekapo.

Nous arrivons à Dunedin, c'est une ville assez grande et nous en profitons pour faire des provisions avant de partir vers le sud-ouest. Nous visiterons bien sûr les incontournables comme la rue la plus pentue du monde et la fameuse "Cadbury Chocolate factory", nous décidons aussi de passer la nuit au bord de la plage, tout simplement.
